Description

A cream cheese and onion twist makes these Seattle salmon burgers a delicious way to enjoy fresh or leftover salmon fillets on brioche buns.

• 1 (3 ounce) fillet salmon fillet

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 3/4 teaspoon chopped fresh dill

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 2 brioche buns, halved

• 1 tablespoon butter

• 1 yellow onion, sliced

• 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened

1 Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

2 Season salmon evenly with salt, pepper, and dill. Drizzle with lemon juice. Transfer to a baking sheet.

3 Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes.

4 Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

5 Toast brioche buns on a baking sheet in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

6 Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in onion slices and stir occasionally until brown and soft, about 15 minutes.

7 Spread cream cheese on the bottom half of each bun. Place one half of the salmon fillet on each bun and top with onion.
